PTC resettable fuses, also known as “polyfuse”, are advanced components in the circuit protection. They are composed of a Polymer and metal particles or metal powder and have a great advantage over conventional fuses when it comes to protecting electronic devices such as motors and electrical appliances from short circuit and overloads. This type of resin-based overcurrent protection devices are known for their unique ability to trip and reset, thus, decrease the cost of unprotected electrical transients.

Among the diverse types of PTC resettable fuses, a popular choice is the SMD1206P016TFA, which is intended primarily for surface mounting and has a relatively large operating current (up to 16 amps) and voltage rating (50V ac/dc). The body of the SMD1206P016TFA is made from heat resistant Polyamide (nylon) and copper plated iron bottom component for optimal signal integrity. It also has multiple trip points to enhance safety.

This PTC resettable fuse works by the process of self-heating. This means that when the current passes through, there is a temperature rise in the wire, which increases the resistance. As the temperature continues to rise, the resistance increases to a point where it trips and opens the circuit, thus reducing the risk of fire and other hazardous events. What\'s more, after the operating temperature of the PTC resettable fuse is reduced, it will be automatically reconnected and reset, allowing the current to continue to flow. This circuit protection will repeat if the current magnitude is greater than the preset trip point.

SMD1206P016TFA resettable fuses are typically used for overcurrent protection in various applications, such as automotive control units, lighting equipment, power supplies, motor control equipment, and lighting fixtures. It can be used to protect against inrush current from motors, capacitor charging, switches, relays and other transient currents that can be damaging to equipment. It can also be used to protect high power circuits from short circuits.

Moreover, this type of PTC resettable fuse is designed to provide an additional level of protection, as it is able to detect and trip on abrupt and gradual overcurrents. This means the opening and closing of the circuit can be accurately controlled and managed, ensuring safe operation for a range of electronics.

In summary, the SMD1206P016TFA is an effective overcurrent protection component for a wide range of applications. Its ability to trip when there is an overcurrent and reset afterwards makes it an excellent choice for electrical protection in motor control equipment, lighting fixtures, automotive control units and more. It also has multiple trip points for improved safety.
